We’re a small rural meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) located in a community established in the 1870’s. Bear Creek Friends Meeting is an “unprogrammed meeting.”
“The heart of Friends faith is direct personal experience of the living God coupled with obedience—willingness to be changed by that experience. The religious society of Friends exists to nurture the experience of God through meeting for worship and support Friends as they seek to discern and to live according to the will of God.”
– Faith and Practice book , 2011, of Iowa Yearly Meeting (Conservative) / traditional worship.
The topics for our pre-meeting discussion are always changing and on the third Sunday of each month we have our business meeting during this hour.
We are located near Earlham, Iowa -west from Des Moines about 30 minutes on I-80 to exit 104.
